Explain first aid treatment for a range of emergency care situations To cover the following: burns and scalds; compromised airway; hyperthermia (heat stroke); hypothermia; smoke inhalation; Categorising and prioritisation of first aid cases/injuries should be discussed, along with safe handling, movement and transport of patients An awareness of circumstances that may lead to any of the above first aid situations should also be included Copyright © The College of Animal Welfare, DD/YYYY - Initial/Syllabus 3 Learning Outcomes 6c. Describe the administration of oxygen therapy in emergency situations Safe and appropriate use of oxygen therapy in first aid cases, and identify which cases may require this and why Flow-by oxygen; masks; nasal prongs; nasal oxygen cannula; transtracheal catheter; oxygen cage or tent Copyright © The College of Animal Welfare, DD/YYYY - Initial/Syllabus 4 Definitions Research the following terminology Dyspnoea Orthopnoea Open pneumothorax Tension pneumothorax Pulmonary contusion Haemoptysis Paradoxical breathing Cyanosis Parenchymal disease Copyright © The College of Animal Welfare, DD/YYYY - Initial/Syllabus 5 Answers Dyspnoea Difficulty breathing Orthopnoea Breathing in upright position with elbows abducted Open pneumothorax Air in pleural space with direct contact to the outside, usually caused by traumatic injury Tension pneumothorax Air in pleural space, but can not escape. Pleural pressure increases with every breath. Causes lung collapse Pulmonary contusion Bleeding into alveoli, lung bruising Haemoptysis Coughing up blood Paradoxical breathing Animal breaths in and abdomen moves in due to increase inspiratory effort. AKA abdominal breathing Cyanosis Blue MM’s due to lack of circulating oxygen Parenchymal disease Alveoli become filled with fluid. Major causes are Heart failure, pneumonia, oedema and contusions Copyright © The College of Animal Welfare, DD/YYYY - Initial/Syllabus 6 Types of Burn Copyright © The College of Animal Welfare, 07/2023 AF/VTEC VN03 7 Local Response to Burn Injury Major burns have three zones of injury Appear in bulls-eye pattern: Zone of hyperemia (A) Zone of stasis (B) Zone of coagulation (C) Copyright © The College of Animal Welfare, 07/2023 AF/VTEC VN03 8 Activity Follow the link below to access the activity and learn more about different types of burns Copyright © The College of Animal Welfare, DD/YYYY - Initial/Syllabus 9 Complications of Burns Hypovolaemic shock – inability to maintain adequate blood pressure. Increased capillary permeability plus decreased in cardiac output leads to hypovolaemia known as burn shock. Renal failure - the breakdown of muscle tissue that leads to the relaese of muscle fibre contents in to the blood. These substances are harmful to the kidney and often cause kidney damage. Sepsis – burn wounds often have a large surface area so lots of opportunities for pathogens to gain entry into the host.
